The Lake -- Day Four

Wednesday, July 22.

I wanted to go to the farmers market in Watertown with Mom this morning, so I drove with her in the Suburban, and even though we went in late we found a parking spot on the street right in front of the busy market!  I took my camera and shot a few from the hip.  Farmers markets are a fun place to bring a camera!

Back at the lake, Delbert (family friend) brought his log splitter to split new logs for Dad's firewood stack.

Allie's aunt left before Mom and I got back; I was upset that I wasn't able to say goodbye to her and her family.  We had a relaxing afternoon, though, and Fernando grilled ribs for dinner.

A cold front came through that evening, so no dock date with the sunset.  But, a day at the lake is better than a day anywhere else!!

Watertown Farmers Market

August 6.

Wednesday dawned bright and beautiful, and Mom and I headed out to Watertown and its weekly farmers market.  It's amazing that this market is so large, given the fact that Watertown is a smaller town with not much else surrounding it.  This market is twice the size of my own home town's market right here in the Chicago suburbs!

One of the many vegetable vendors.

The fountain in front of the library.

Mom likes to browse the used books for sale.

These two stick-wielding boys were chasing each other around the fountain.

The lion statue in front of the library.

My one splurge for the trip was going to be purchasing a spoon rest by this potter.  I said going to be because my mom snatched it out of my hand and bought it for me.  :)   I fell in love with these blue dishes, many of which had maple and other leaf imprints in them.  Gorgeous!

Pottery by Dragonfly Pottery.

I finally splurged on a gift for Fernando--a sign for above our front door.  It reads, Always Kiss Me Goodbye.  Which he always does.  :)
